The 100th Post Of January And Still 16 Hours To Spare

As much as I thought that words would fail me at some point, I always found another way of writing things. From my last experiment on post 99 to this one to another one that I conceptualized while researching on wikipedia, I am glad that it is over, in a way.

Because posting 30 posts in three days is a bit much, even for me. I find a nice balance in my posting when I post about 3 to 6 posts a day. That gives a nice variety and gives me time to mull over things. Before I would have thought that those numbers would have been a bit too much, but I find that it is simply a way of seeing things.

Before, I had very long posts. Sometimes close to 6000 words, at times. All in one post. (Remember the whole meta-post idea?)

Now, I prefer posts that are a bit more on topic and lead to a conclusion, instead of going on and on. I have thought about splitting up those long meta-posts but since there are only a dozen or so, I don’t think that it would be worth the effort.

So that is a 100 posts in one month on The Memoirs. That is a lot, but when you break down the numbers, it’s just a little bit more than 3.33 posts a day, which isn’t so much. The challenge was hard because I only had a few weeks to come up with a lot of posts (I don’t remember if it was 5.69 posts a day or two weeks at this point).

I hope that you have enjoyed it.

I don’t plan on doing this again anytime soon, unless their is a purpose, because it was strange. Sometimes posting too much will dilute the essence of the posts themselves. But then, since I am not pushing a product or reviewing anything significant, it becomes an exercise in effort, style and art.

More than anything, I do agree totally with Jessica that some blogging is definitely art.

At one point I was at a zen like stance on this whole idea.

Once there are no more words, what is left?

No more words are coming out of my mouth, do I still exist?

Yes, and sometimes silence is golden.

The only other goal that I have right now is to post 1000 posts for the 24th of May 2007, the one year anniversary of this blog.

It’s a bit too involved for me. It would have to be more live-blogging than anything else, and within a few hours, it would loose a lot of meaning.

Then again, if I get sponsors and shit like that, I wouldn’t mind trying it out, but I would set-up a section or blog just for that. Wouldn’t want the integrity of my blog completely diluted because of a number of posts.
